The First International Workshop on Cloud Data Mining (IWCDM, 2013)
provides an international platform to share and discuss recent research
outcomes in cloud computing for data mining to discovery knowledge.

Background:
Cloud Computing, a phrase originally coined to represent Grid Computing.
Recently Cloud Computing has gained substantial coverage due to the huge
amount of On-line services and to the move from hardware and software
innovation to network in the industries. Cloud Computing has significant
potential in providing new design methods as well as new ways of teaching
and practicing in the existing industry. It helps to keep the minimum
expenditure to the government and stockholders by using a central
platform. Due to the current global financial crises it became very popular in
the IT industry. It has created the potential for a number of new forms of
working manner, user behaviour and collaboration. At the same time it has
also led to a gap in the advanced working environment.

This workshop will discuss the experiences of the researchers in their
journey into existing Cloud Computing technologies and services. This will
discuss specific uses of Data Mining techniques in the Cloud Computing
domain. Many recent studies have already shown that the effectiveness of
Data Mining techniques in the Cloud domain. This workshop intends to
bring together researchers, developers, and practitioners from academia,
government, and industry to discuss new and emerging trends in cloud
computing technologies, programming models, and software services and
outline the data mining techniques that can efficiently exploit this modern
computing infrastructure. This workshop also seeks to identify the greatest
challenges in securing Cloud Computing infrastructure to stop any
attackers using Data Mining Techniques. Therefore, we invite all
researchers, developers, and users to participate in this event and share,
contribute, and discuss the emerging challenges in developing data mining
solutions and frameworks around Cloud Computing domain.

Workshop Topics:
Novel model and tool for Cloud Data Mining
Securing Cloud domain using Data Mining techniques
Minimize Cloud service cost using Data Mining techniques
Minimize data storage space using Data Mining techniques
Cloud provider performance evaluation using Data Mining techniques
Secure Cloud server access key using Data Mining techniques
Any application of Data Mining techniques in the Cloud domain
